A HAPPY SONG
Look in the mirror at a self-absorbed fool,
Lost your way, lost your cool,
And you’re starting to wonder when you’ll
Get it right
Self-loathing, self-pity just makes you sick
Can’t think at all but ya need to think quick
Want to be good but you act like a dick
It ain’t right
This should be a happy song
I want to write a happy song
You deserve a happy song
So you can smile and sing along
Working to rise up, wanting to thrive
But sometimes it’s all you can do to survive
Things round you dying but you’re still alive
Don’t know why
Keep on believing love will come first
Fight for the best while you’re feeling the worst
Sometimes you can’t help but think that you’re cursed
Still you try
This should be a happy song
I want to write a happy song
You deserve a happy song
So you can smile and sing along
I know this ain’t no fairy tale
I hear the heart inside me wail
“Love, oh love, it must prevail!”
I often fall, refuse to fail
And if that makes me just a fool
Then that’s okay, yeah, that is cool
Still, I hope someday that you’ll
Find a happy song
Cause you deserve a happy song
So you can smile and sing along
And feel some joy when things go wrong
